Opening La Scala
The prestigious Opening Night at Teatro alla Scala in Milan on December 7, 2025, marked not only the inauguration of the operatic season with Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District, but also a luminous convergence of fashion, art, and cultural dialogue. Among the most captivating presences of the evening was international top model and fashion journalist Mariangela Vanalli, whose appearance embodied elegance, symbolism, and refined artistry.
Vanalli made a striking entrance wearing a breathtaking tiffany-colored gown by the renowned Atelier Milagros Ancheita. The dress, embellished with shimmering Swarovski crystals, reflected light with every movement, creating a visual harmony that resonated with the grandeur of La Scala.
Mariangela Vanalli’s presence at La Scala transcended aesthetics. It became a symbol of cultural resonance—where beauty, art, intellect, and history converged within one of the world’s most revered opera houses. Her appearance reaffirmed that fashion, when guided by vision and meaning, becomes a powerful language capable of honoring tradition while speaking to the present.
Her luminous presence was further elevated by a flawless beauty look curated by makeup artist Marina Santos, who enhanced Vanalli’s natural radiance with refined, elegant tones. Hairstylist Emilia De Filippis styled her hair with timeless sophistication, perfectly balancing the gown’s structure and the delicacy of the accessories.
Vanalli’s jewelry transformed the look into a true masterpiece. She wore the parure “Blue Eyes, La Felina”, an exquisite composition featuring white, blue, and pink gemstones, sea and river pearls, aquamarine, pink tourmaline, and 14-karat gold-filled details. The interplay of marine hues and celestial reflections evoked purity, depth, and luminosity—hallmarks of Vanalli’s unmistakable sense of style.The ensemble drew immediate international attention. Vanalli’s appearance was captured by photographer Mauro Piatti and featured in leading global publications such as Vanity Fair and El Mundo, alongside major Italian outlets including La Repubblica, Il Sole 24 Ore, and Corriere della Sera.
